Winsock Getdata buffer not clearing

[TrueCode]

I have a routine on a form that seeks to close all connected clients. The message is so coded that upon receipt the client executes its local closedown routine. I am finding that the first message goes fine to the first client (I scanned the server for opened connections then send the message to shut on each socket), however thesecond client receives more than one message in its getdata buffer. That creates an error. How do I solve that?

TrueCode,

Can you post some code? Specifically the client code where you send a message off and wait for a response.

Also, the server code where you flip through all active connections and send the shutdown message.

Managing VFP and the Active X Winsock events can be tricky and a lot of times you will need to set _VFP.Autoyield = .F. and use DOEVENTS() to get the events to fire properly.
